Bug 281129 – alsa-utils-1.0.20-r4 error message loop for old alsa always fails

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Wiget 2009-08-11 18:18:58 UTC]

The code in the ebuild for alsa-utils-1.2.0 for the old asla config will always fail because it is duplicated:

pkg_setup() {
        if [[ -e "${ROOT}etc/modules.d/alsa" ]]; then
                eerror "Obsolete config /etc/modules.d/alsa found."
                die "Move /etc/modules.d/alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf."
        fi

       if [[ -e "${ROOT}etc/modprobe.d/alsa" ]]; then
               eerror "Obsolete config /etc/modprobe.d/alsa found."
               die "Move /etc/modprobe.d/alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf."
       fi

}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -uvD alsa-utils
3. emerge always fails even if pkg_setup not true

Actual Results:  
expect it to continue if file not found.  This works as expected:

pkg_setup() {
        if [[ -e "${ROOT}etc/modules.d/alsa" ]]; then
                eerror "Obsolete config /etc/modules.d/alsa found."
                die "Move /etc/modules.d/alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf."
        fi

#       if [[ -e "${ROOT}etc/modprobe.d/alsa" ]]; then
#               eerror "Obsolete config /etc/modprobe.d/alsa found."
#               die "Move /etc/modprobe.d/alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf."
#       fi
}

oops, I misread that error message, but I was still getting the error message even though /etc/modules.d/alsa did not exist and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf did.  Only way I could get it to compile and install was to comment out the second check.

It's not duplicate.

There shouldn't be modules.d/alsa or modprobe.d/alsa, both are deprecated...,
so you must have modprobe.d/alsa still left.
